  • Good morning, John.

  • Remember how I wrote a book?

  • This is all of the languages.

  • It's been published in so far.

  • That's the coolest thing I own.

  • That book will, at some point in the future, have a sequel, and I have been working on that.

  • Siegel.

  • So I've been thinking about writing a lot lately.

  • This is made me realize that there are a number of things that I wish that I had known about writing when I was writing.

  • My first plus, of course, isn't going to be applicability everybody, but I figured I'd share with the help of some questions I got on Twitter.

  • They never want characters versus plot.

  • I started with plot, and I thought that plot was going to carry me through the whole process.

  • I was super wrong.

  • I couldn't even really get deep into the book until I cared about the characters really deeply.

  • I had to love them like friends in order to have the motivation to finish telling their stories.

  • So like as far as writing motivation goes, my like, biggest tip is fall in love with your characters, that's all.

  • That's the only thing that kept me going.

  • Number two Writing schedules are not a thing that I have.

  • Sometimes I'm pretty busy sometimes I'm not.

  • Sometimes I'm sick, but if I do not write at least 1000 words a week, the story leaves my brain.

  • I no longer think about it in the shower when I'm taking the wall and starting back up again becomes the whole process for me.

  • 1000 words.

  • It's like one or two hours of writing time.

  • And if I don't make that time, I'm not read in the book anymore.

  • And I might not right again for months.

  • The number three also regarding the actual physical process of writing.

  • Not all writing is writing, thinking, staring, researching, stressing, reading other people's books, reading your own book again, reading stuff that you've already written.

  • All that stuff is right.

  • If you're super focused on word count, you'll have more words.

  • If you're super focused on story, you'll have more stories in number four.

  • Related Lee.

  • Nothing but Time writes a book.

  • I don't know how I didn't know this, but it takes hundreds of hours, at least, and so if you don't spend the time, it doesn't get done.

  • Thing Number five plotting for me is a process of constant Rhett Khan.

  • I don't know how other people do it, but I'm writing.

  • And then I realized that something earlier in the story doesn't make sense or isn't necessary or is too loose.

  • And then the first book, I would go back and fix that, which was terrible on because, like, I might get further in the story and then have to go back and fix that exact same thing again.

  • Takes 1000 years to look it up and fix it.

  • It takes you out of your flow.

  • So the second book, I just created it.

  • Ah, folder and my project file.

  • And it's called things to change and it just full of stuff I need to change so that I don't miss it In revision thing number six, the characters have to be in control if I'm controlling them than they aren't really.

  • And they're not gonna feel real thing number 70 my God.

  • Why didn't I know this?

  • You don't have to write linear.

  • Least I'm around.

  • If I'm excited about a scene, I go on.

  • I write that scene and doesn't matter if it's gonna take place like the last quarter of the book, and I'm in the first quarter when I eventually filling all the gaps like there's definitely gonna be things that I have to change about that seat.

  • But also, everything that I've written up to that point is gonna mesh better with that final destination and even more importantly, sometimes a scene you're really excited about.

  • They're big scenes, they're important scenes.

  • They turn out that they don't work.

  • And like then, if you write up all the way to that scene just to get to that scene and it doesn't work, it's a disaster for me.

  • It's been really good to know if my important scenes are actually gonna work before I get to finally thing Number eight.

  • I have expertise is and passions of things that I love and that I care about and then I know about.

  • I've written like 1000 non fiction video essay is kind of an expert on social media.

  • I don't know how I hadn't figured this out, but, like using my expertise is, and my passions has been deeply enabling, and all of my early failed attempts at other books was because I wasn't doing that.

  • So, John, thank you for the years of practice here.

  • And if I could give you any advice, it's apparently right.

  • A soccer novel.

  • I'll see you on Tuesday.

  • I don't have any news regarding this equal right now, but I am working on it.

  • If you want to hear me talk more about writing, I have a very long video over on Hank's January.

  • Answer.

  • Many more questions that I was sent on Twitter, and also the book boxes from Life's library actually make more of those than we're probably gonna need, just in case anybody needs some replacements.

  • But we're releasing a bunch of those on discount at d of t b a dot com If you want to check that out.

Good morning, John.
